Theodore P Dec 28, 2018 Its a movie thats decent/ok for the first two acts before excelling in the third act. I really liked the ending. For two acts the plot was bland and looked like it was sticking to a tried and true blueprint, but then they added a nice twist at the end, See more

Luke S Sep 20, 2017 We know very well that it's quite risky to bring back the dead from the movie 'Pet Cemetary'. Well executed at times but there were some really awful scenes that felt like ancient filming. Scary enough though. See more

Albus L Aug 21, 2017 Unique, peculiar and effortlessly tense, Wake Wood is a strange little Irish horror film about a rural neighbourhood that harbour a dark secret from the rest of the world - their internal ability to bring the deceased back to life for a mere three days. The film features brilliant performances from Timothy Spall and Eva Birthistle and also from the young Ella Connolly. A film can be made so much better when a younger actor gives a good performance as it's often rare to see a good performance from a child actor. The film is really gory and queasy in places and I feel a lot of this could be substituted for more subtle chills that supernatural horror is so popular for. I feel they should have focused more on the climax and less on the build up of the story, as the ending is slightly ridiculous and devoid of any logic at all. A good film lays waste to a lazy ending. Fans of the Wicker Man and Pet Sematary should definitely check out Wake Wood. See more

Leia L Jun 28, 2017 This movie is dumb. Of course you don't break the rules when bringing someone back to life, doesn't everyone know that? I didn't think the acting was very good and the plot was predictable. I own this and should probably just toss it. See more

Finn S Mar 25, 2017 In the kinda move you only see in horror movies made about people who apparently don't know how horror films work, this film features a couple accepting the offer of the creepy new locals to bring back their dead child for three days so that they can have closure over the death, but naturally decide that three days is not enough. Y'know, in spite of the cryptic warnings of the aforementioned creepy locals, and things transpire as you'd expect them to. A very watchable little flick and well worth a look if you have the chance. Give it a rental! See more

Han S Oct 1, 2011 This was an ok time-waster.
